Did you check existing requests?

Describe the feature

It would be awesome to be able to delete items from the quickfix list (perhaps via dd) like https://github.com/itchyny/vim-qfedit does, or to be able to filter items from lists into new lists, like https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf#filter-with-signs does.

Provide background

Sometimes you will have items in the quickfix list, and you want to be able to remove an item before running a command on all of them, without having to repopulate the quickfix list.

You might also want to filter out multiple items and send them to a new list.

What is the significance of this feature?

nice to have

Additional details

This is the main reason I'm still tied to https://github.com/kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf - if quicker could support this I could fully migrate over!

By default this plugin allows you to remove items from the quickfix by deleting them (via dd or any other means) and :w. The only editing operations not supported are

1. creating new items
2. changing the filename/lnum of an item
3. reordering items

That's awesome! 🙏
